THE G2 DIFFERENCE
CAREFULLY SELECTED AND HIGHLY TRAINED PERSONNEL
We are team-oriented with POST accredited investigators throughout the State. All Field Investigators are former public safety professionals. G2's Investigations support staff are carefully screened and trained to follow G2's investigation protocols.
Communication is key with agency liaisons updated regularly to allow early termination of a background, if warranted.
DOCUMENTED INTERNAL PROCESSES
FOR CASE FLOW
With 19 years of experience in process management, we have developed efficiency, accuracy, and thoroughness by documenting our intricate set of processes. Our own rules and guidelines govern how our personnel interact with all parties as they utilize technology to gather, evaluate, and organize information in the process of delivering high-quality, thorough, and timely investigative reports.
